Beach Road Bed and Breakfast
It was very interesting. It’s a big house with different rooms. We all share the kitchen, living room, laundry room, pool and deck area. Overall it was pretty good. One thing that did irritated go get it brought our dog and all you can hear is another dog barking 85% of the time.!

Shutters on the Banks
Our first visit to the Outer Banks was enhanced by our accommodations at Shutters on the Banks. The room was very clean, the staff was respectful, and the amenities very convenient and helpful. We will definitely return to SOTB on our next trip to the OB!

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Nags Head Oceanfront
Overall it was nice the only complaints I have is when I want ocean front views I want beach with the ocean not just the ocean.I paid $150 a night to see the beach and the ocean and that’s what I expected. Breakfast was ridiculous, I just wanted yogurt and fruit not to be hit with a menu of omelette ...

Sea Ranch Resort
The staff was friendly but the property is a bit run down and when we checked in, the floor of our bathroom was covered in pieces of long hair and debris.

I loved my oceanfront view. I watched the sunrise every morning. Short walk to Jennette’s Pier. Great location close to Fresh Market grocery store and other restaurants. The staff was very accommodating.
